iFi Audio SilentPower - GND Defender - Intelligent Ground Control, IEC Connector Ground Loop Remover

iFi GND Defender Ground Loop Remover Achieving the optimal configuration for your audio system requires a single Ground/Earth connection for the entire setup. Multiple Grounds/Earths can lead to troublesome ground loops, resulting in a bothersome low-frequency hum emanating from the speakers. Existing solutions often pose challenges, either compromising safety and EMI shielding or focusing solely on specific country standards, such as those in the US. Enter the GND Defender by iFi Audio, a revolutionary solution that intelligently detects ground loops and selectively cuts the ground for affected components, ensuring minimal interference and maximum performance. Key Features: AI Ground Detection: Equipped with a GND Defender at the IEC power input, the system intelligently identifies and eliminates ground loops at the component level. Intelligent Ground Loop Breakage: The GND Defender effectively breaks DC ground loops to eliminate ground loop hum while retaining EMI shielding and ensuring equipment safety. Scalable Solution: If multiple ground loops are present, multiple GND Defenders may be employed as needed. Robust Construction: Built with high-performance components including a glass passivated semiconductor, X7R Capacitor, and flame-resistant IEC socket/connector/chassis, the GND Defender prioritizes both technological advancement and safety. It's important to note that maintaining at least one direct power cable connection is considered best practice to ensure optimal system performance. Connection Guide
